Propuesta alternativa de vivienda colectiva de interés social en el programa habitacional La Cascarilla, Loja

Abstract

Abstract: This thesis proposes an alternative collective housing project for the La Cascarilla housing program in Loja. The importance of architectural and urban design lies in creating a spatial organization that can positively influence residents quality of life; therefore, this research focuses on demonstrating the value of productive spaces within collective housing and the urban development, employing methodologies for analyzing the dwelling, the neighborhood, and the environment to obtain an urban analysis of the study area. For the architectural design, the Analogical Composition method is proposed, which centers on the analogical comparison of international and local architectural projects thru urban architectural composition analysis schemes. It is proposed to create, thru an urban-architectural restructuring, an alternative collective housing proposal with different typologies in relation to public and communal space, leading to the social and cultural integration of residents and the optimization of collective and private spaces.
